Pope Leo XIV is creating a commission on artificial intelligence, a new Vatican body that aims to coordinate the Catholic Church's response to artificial intelligence.
The move comes ahead of Pope Leo's first encyclical, or pastoral letter, which is expected to advance an ethics-based approach to artificial intelligence.
The Vatican announced on Saturday that the Pope had decided to set up the commission due to the increasing use of artificial intelligence, "its possible effects on human beings and on humanity as a whole, and the church's concern for the dignity of every human being . "
The announcement came a day after Pope Leo signed his encyclical, a letter drafted by the Pope and sent to bishops to provide guidance or instruction on moral matters.
His new encyclical, which is due to be made public in the coming weeks, is expected to examine the issue of artificial intelligence within the church's social teaching, which also covers issues such as work, justice and peace.
It's not the first time Pope Leo has been involved in AI issues. Just days after he was elected in May 2025, he told cardinals that the Catholic Church owed it to the world to offer "the treasury of its social teachings" to meet the challenges posed by AI on "human dignity, justice and work."
In June 2025, Pope Leo criticized the potential negative consequences of the increasing use of artificial intelligence. After noting the potential for good of artificial intelligence, the Pope said that there is the possibility of “misuse for selfish gain” and as a way to “incite conflict and aggression.”
" I am sure that all of us are concerned about children and young people, as well as about the possible consequences of the use of artificial intelligence on their intellectual and neurological development. Our young people must be helped, and not hindered, in their journey towards maturity and true responsibility ," the Pope said.
